@@ -8,3 +8,11 @@ This is a Gopher plugin for [Bebop][bebop], refer to its docs for details.
 Requires:
 
 * Bebop >= 0.2.0
+
+It currently displays only the maps and the file item types.
+
+Avoid using the path navigation features of Bebop because they do not make much
+sense in Gopher; Gopher URLs do not really represent a path as they can be
+prefixed with an item type, so going up one level from a file item will usually
+put you on a map item with the file item indicator still in the URL. Going to
+the root URL and history navigation should still be fine though.
